Changes to Permitted Development Regulations for Rural Property
Planning House has been following the recent changes to the Permitted Development Regulations for rural property, and we are excited to share our insights with you. The new regulations aim to simplify the process of developing rural properties, making it easier for landowners to unlock the potential of their land.
One of the key changes is the introduction of a new ‘prior approval’ system, which allows landowners to submit plans for development without needing to obtain full planning permission. This can significantly reduce the time and cost associated with the planning process.
What does this mean for rural property owners?
The new regulations offer a range of benefits for rural property owners, including increased flexibility and reduced bureaucracy. Landowners can now submit plans for development without needing to obtain full planning permission, which can help to speed up the development process and reduce costs.
Another key change is the introduction of a new ‘community benefit’ test, which requires developers to demonstrate that their proposals will bring significant benefits to the local community. This can include things like improved infrastructure, increased employment opportunities, and enhanced community facilities.
How can landowners take advantage of the new regulations?
To take advantage of the new regulations, landowners will need to submit a prior approval application to the local planning authority. This will involve providing detailed plans and information about the proposed development, including its impact on the local community and environment.
The new regulations offer a significant opportunity for rural property owners to unlock the potential of their land and bring benefits to their local community.
Conclusion
The new Permitted Development Regulations for rural property offer a range of benefits for landowners, including increased flexibility and reduced bureaucracy. By submitting prior approval applications and demonstrating the community benefits of their proposals, landowners can help to speed up the development process and bring benefits to their local community.
